  1. I love Big Jake to the point where my youngest son’s name is…Jake.

  3. Born in ’69 and my dad schooled me in ‘The Duke’. Loved them all and burned it in to my young soul – that’s how men should interact. Dad’s favourite was the ‘Quiet Man’ and he even tracked down the original cottage – and pinched a few stones from the wreckage of the ruin.From that, I love Maureen O’Hara- some babe. ‘She Wore a Yellow Ribbon’ was a favourite of mine as an Irish Fenian. I blame her on my attraction for red heads LOL

  5. The quiet man is my all time favorite. Big Jake, El Dorado and Rio Lobo are also in my permanent collection. “Well it's a nice, soft night, so I think I'll go and join me comrades and talk a little treason.”
